Chapter 11: Conflict (2)
Qin Ming sat alone on the steel frame beam high in the warehouse, even if it was time to sleep, he still held the weapon in his hand, maintaining a strong vigilance.
Every once in a while, the ears will shake twice conditionally to probe the outside world.
It may seem interesting to ordinary people, but the process of developing this habit is actually not pleasant.
At that time, the Zerg were raging, and in their group of people who were stubbornly trying to survive, there were more or less similar habits, or instincts.
If given a choice, he didn't want to have that nightmare experience.
His routine is very regular, following the biological clock to open his eyes, and his slightly loose gaze becomes clear and sharp in a short time.
Removing water and compressed food from his backpack, he only got up after finishing his breakfast, and walked along the beam to the top of his destination.
Seeing the container dormitory on the ground, he naturally leaned forward and fell to the ground silently.
Yu Youzi, who was in charge of guarding the second half of the night, held a rifle and looked at all corners vigilantly, only to find that Qin Ming was already standing next to the container, so frightened that she almost pulled the trigger.
"Guide, when were you here?" She whispered.
"Just came over, did you notice anything?"
Yu Youzi shook her head, but said secretly in her heart: "The biggest situation should be you."
Qin Ming just asked as a rule, if there was a situation, he couldn't be completely unaware.
"Next, I'll be the guard, you can go and rest first."
"No, I'm not very tired." Yu Youzi hurriedly waved her hand and refused.
Qin Ming nodded, not intending to force the other party, leaning against the container.
After being quiet for a moment, Yu Youzi opened the helmet windshield and walked up to him with her hands folded, "Guide, I'm sorry for what happened last night, Brother Zhou is just a big temper." ”
"Well, it's nothing, his main impact is on the safety of your team, if it's dangerous, I can still run away."
Qin Ming said very bluntly, and then asked: "But I'm a little curious, didn't the military start with the aspect of shaping your character when cultivating you?" ”
Yu Youzi rolled her eyes beautifully, "Hmm~ There is also this aspect, but the combat team is more lenient here, when screening before, the instructor said that talent potential is the first thing, and the others can be polished the day after tomorrow." ”
Human resources are scarce.
This was the first word that flashed in Qin Ming's mind, otherwise the military, which had always demanded strict military discipline, would not do it.
Just like after the disaster broke out, many newly formed armies did not have a strict vetting system, as long as they could fight.
"How many young combat teams like you are at the general energy level?"
Seeing Yu Youzi only raise one finger, Qin Ming was very surprised, this was very different from what he imagined.
The large military region has gathered a lot of excellent seeds very early and carried out optimized training, he originally thought that no matter how bad it was, he could form two or three teams, but he didn't expect it to be so few.
"Actually, our military region is okay, other military regions can't get together five people, and many people who originally performed well have fallen into a bottleneck and are blocked out of the gate of the general energy level."
Yu Youzi stood next to Qin Ming and looked the latter up and down, "So at the beginning, we were shocked to know that you were also at the level of general energy, and we all wanted to know how you did it." ”
As we all know, systematic training is the fastest way to improve the level of original energy, and it is difficult to find a breakthrough by exploring it by yourself without a mentor.
Qin Ming was silent for a moment before he replied, "Maybe there are more actual battles." ”
Just when Yu Youzi wanted to continue asking, Zhou Kedi had already walked out.
The two looked at each other, interrupting their previous communication.
"Young Purple, it's early!" Zhou Kedi walked over and said hello, completely ignoring the other person.
In such a discordant atmosphere, Yu Youzi responded awkwardly, and then made an excuse to walk away.
Zhou Kedi, who was about to talk freely, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and only then did he look at Qin Ming next to him and said in a low voice: "See your identity clearly, don't think about toads eating swan meat." ”
In the face of such a solemn warning, Qin Ming had no fluctuation in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.
After Zhou Kedi walked away, several other people also came out one after another.
"You've got five minutes to check your gear, adjust your condition, and then you're all set off, do you hear that?!"
After yesterday's incident, Yang Ruolan's tone was cold today, and she couldn't tolerate others to refuse to question.
"Roger!" Several people replied in unison.
The small door on the side of the warehouse was opened again, and everyone rushed out.
Compared to before, today's march speed was unusually fast, on the one hand, because they were already slightly familiar with the rhythm, and on the other hand, because of the pressure from Yang Ruolan, everyone had to deal with it seriously.
The misty sky gradually changed and brightened over time, and finally the true body of a few dark shadows was clearly visible, but fortunately, most of the Zerg had returned to their nests to hibernate by this time.
Occasionally, when they encountered a wandering lone zerg, Zhou Kedi and Tashan immediately stepped forward to solve it, and the successive battles stained their weapons with dark green and smelly blood, and finally had to shake the force away.
Under the cover of various buildings, they ghostly shuttle between the buildings of the street and approach the center of the city.
The glorious human civilization of the past is now in tatters, with holes and potholes on the surface of many high-rise buildings, and dense fleshy sacs hanging in a few places, like huge tumors.
These are the eggs, and without the catalytic effect of the mother nest, the Zerg can only continue their offspring in this primitive way.
Because of the lack of nutrients, the hatching is long and the survival rate is low, and it is impossible for a swarm of larvae to break out of the eggs, so humans are not very worried about the reproduction of the zerg.
When entering a city occupied by the Zerg, the most taboo thing to do is to attack the eggs.
As long as you don't make a move, the Zerg here will be contained here and won't leave easily.
"Your destination is coming soon, here, and here.... There are B-class zergs in the vicinity, as well as a large number of guard swarms, and it will be safer for us to follow this route. ”
Qin Ming pointed to the projection map that Yang Ruolan had opened, and once again emphasized the point.
"Are you sure? It would have been too hasty to determine the route without first reconnaissance. ”
Along the sound source, Qin Ming saw Li Lang frowning, although he knew that the other party had his own thoughts, he still explained.
"If there is no external force, the Zerg will basically not change their habitat, and there is also their own work and rest rules, and there are no traces of other people's exploration along the way, so there is no need to worry about changes."
"If necessary, I can go and check the situation first."
Li Lang looked at Yang Ruolan and hesitated slightly: "Team Yang, are we..."
"Is your experience richer than Qin Ming?" Yang Ruolan, who had not yet been deflated, suddenly thought of Zhou Kedi last night, and reflexively choked.
Li Lang didn't have any color on his face, he just smiled.
"I'm just thinking about safety, if Team Yang doesn't think it's necessary, then do what you want."
Some things may not happen immediately, but foreshadowing can always play a role in subsequent developments.
After this little episode, they set off again.
After that, the Zerg encountered along the way were all pierced by Yang Ruolan using icicles, standing stiffly in place, completely lifeless.
Chu En Mansion is their target, the two-hundred-story towering silver building is very conspicuous, the purple fungus carpet covers most of the middle and upper reaches, and there is a huge hole in the center, which is the entrance and exit opened by the Zerg.
Through the situation of the invasion of the Chuen Building, Qin Ming roughly estimated the size of the Zerg hidden inside, and fortunately, the White Shark Combat Team had a secret passage map given by the client, which could be entered from a nearby convenience store, otherwise they could only sneak in through the main entrance, which would be easy to be detected by the Zerg at a high place.
"Let's go!" Yang Ruolan looked around at everyone and took the lead in entering the underground passage.
The others followed one after another, only Zhou Kedi and Li Lang were the last, the two looked at each other, they had their own plans.
